g 6 CHICKEN HAT
MOVEMENT FOR LOCAL - IN
CUBATOR WITH CAPACITY
OF 10 THOUSAND EGGS.
eo————— v
will Be 2 Big Boost to Chicken Ix;\-
Justry and Helpful to Farmers.
Hope to Have It in Operation at
An Early Date.
At a meeting of poultry raisers of
Tc'rrt'” county in the court house on
Friday plans were made for purchas
o community hatchery, _whlch
mg”u" mean a forward step m the
WO v industry in_this section.
'r’o{‘;r"rugqcrt, of Cleveland, 0., rep-
A ative of a firm that manufact
re'\f ”;,mmutors. was present anc[ ex
ulr;;wv,} in detail the process of incu
gm,fi haby chicks and the profits
1331‘}‘“\ bhe realized from a modern
Fubator when operated co-operative
;fl py the same community.
}Df [,, Lamar was elected tempo
by ‘president of the local organiza
ion and presided over the meeting.
Mrs. W. H. Gurr, county ' home
economics agent, explained different
phases of poultry raising in a talk that
yas very interesting and helpful to all
present. \r. Tracy Walker, of Shell
man, who attends the state college of
agriculture talked for a few minutes
on the poultry industry as taught in
e college and . the possibilities of a
community hatchery in the county.
A committee, consisting of Mrs. W.
1. Dismuke, Mr. D. .J. Woolbright
and Mrs. Ernest Brim, was appoint
o to canvass the county and take
abscriptions for the hatchery that it
is proposed to purchase. Already a
qumber have subscribed, and if a suf
fcient sum 1S pledged to warrant the
huying of an incubator a great impetus
yill be given the somewhat new chick
en raising industry of this section.
It is proposed to install an incu—{
pator with a capacity of 10,000 eggs,
bnd the cost will be about $2,000.
It is the purpose of those interested
o operate the incubator along the line
tat the hatcheries of south Georgia
e today being operated, a minimum
tharge being made for hatching the
kggs of any person, probably not
more than 4c per egg. At the same
time the hatchery will buy eggs in‘
Lrge quantities and after hatching
ihem sell the day old chicks. The
wveral strains of purebred chickens
that arc already being raised in the
wunty will be featured, especially the
White Leghorn, White and Barred
Rock and the Rhode Island Red, and
i will be possible to secure not only
the cggs from these fine - strains but
by old chicks, if preferred. |
[t is hoped to have the local hatch
erv installed in time for this season’s
tatchings, which will be of great help
to local farmers, who can have their
chicks hatched co-operatively at a
small cost and bring the industry inl
the county to paying business. |
The estimated increase in the poul
try on Georgia farms last year is $l,-
500, the incubator capacity in the state
being increased in that period from
150000 cgg capacity to-over 500,000
during the year.
The first car load of poultry shipp
¢l out of Georgia about fifteen months
200 through the co-operative sale plan |
has since then reached the large fig
we of one hundred and five carloads
_practically money picked up without
any outlay on the part of most of
these producers of poultry products.

SUPERINTENDENT OF GIN AT
_PARROTT THE VICTIM OF
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mr. B. Hamlin, superihtendent of
Mr. W. M. Dunn’s cotton gin at Par
rott, was the victim of a serious ac
cident which necessitated the ampu
tation of his right leg.
It seems that Mr. Hamlin was
showing a negro workman some re
pairs he wished made in the saws of
one of the gins, and had the door of
the trap open. The current of one
of the fans drew his overalls toward
the gin trap, where the fabric was
caught in the teeth of the saw and Mr.
Hamlin’s leg was crushed by' the
heavy machinery.
Medical assistance was called at
once and the leg amputated. Later,
complications set in, and another am
putation was necessary.
At last reports the injured man was
resting fairly well, but his condition
is still considered serious. |
Held Under $3OO Bond ‘
On Charge of Kidnapping
Enticed Negro Boy to Columbus to
Work on Construction Gang:
Tom Kenunedy, a negro who was
¢harged with kidnapping and taking
a young Terrell county negro, the
son of Lee Roy Reddick of Graves‘
Station, to Columbus to work on a
railroad, was bound over at a- com
mitment trial to the higher courts un
der a $3OO bond, which.he. made. ...
From the evidence it appears Ken
yedy persuaded the Reddick boy, who
is just seventeen years of age, to go
to Columbus with him, and it is un
derstood that he paid his railroad fare.
The parents of the youthful darky
decided that he could be used to ad
,antage on the farm and had a war
rant sent to Columbus for Kennedy,
where he was apprehended and
brought here for trial. It is also
understood that both were working
with a construction gang above Co
lumbus and that Kennedy> had been
in Dawson trying to recruit labor.
D. A. SMITH OUT AGAIN
AFTER FROTRACTED ILLNESS
My, D. A. Smith, who was con
fined to his home the past four
weeks with fever, is out again and
attending to business. His many
friends are indeed glad that his recov
‘ery has been complete and that he is
rapidly regaining his strength.
COUNTY LEVY AGAIN 15 MILLS

All the tax levies for 1923 have been

um amount permitted by law.
At their meeting this morning the

paid by property owners for local
purposes.
The State Rate.
The state tax rate has been fixed
by Governor Walker and Comptroller
General Wright at 5 mills, or $5 on

the support of the common schools
and the payment of pensioners, and
.10 mills to the sinking fund to retire
matured bonds of the state.
The levy is the maximum allowed
and applies to all property in the state
subject to taxation advalorem.
At 5 mills property owners of Ter
rell will pay state taxes to the amount
of $20,750, whcih, added to the county
taxes they will pay, will make their
tax bill this yeatr $lOO,OOO.
In addition to this many of them

taxes galore,
Tax upon tax is the order of the day.

Meeting Unanimous
For County Policeman
Expected Opposition to Retention of
Officer Is Not Present.
At the .much heralded meeting of
thé county commissioners Tuesday
morning a large number of people,
both men and women, were present
to hear the proceedings of the meet
ing which was held in conjunction
with a mass meeting of the citizens
of the county.
Several days ago unsigned circulars
were distributed throughout the coun
ty urging all citizens to be present at
the meeting to help in firing the
county policeman, and o see that
among other things a county demon
strator was not hired and in many
other ways to condemn the recent ac
tivities of the commissioners.
The expected opposition did not
show up, and the whole meeting was
in perfect accord with the actiens of
the county commissioners, retaining
the services of the county policeman.
Many citizens from all parts of the
county made short talks, commending
the work of the county policeman and
requesting that he be employed per
manently.
Rev. R. H. Jennings, who was
chairman of the meeting, put to a
vote to the assembly concerning their
view toward attempt to enforce pro
hibition in the county, and the vote
for rigid enforcement was practically
unanimous. :

THE DAWSON NEWS
BOAT OVERTURNS WHILE
TWO MEN ARE FISHING
Messrs. B. B. Perry and Tom Allen
Have Misfortune to Their Fish.
Messrs. B. B, Perry and Tom Al
len had what might have been a very
serious accident last week while fish
ing in Kinchafoonee creek. These fol
lowers of Isaac Walton had already
snared a goodly number of the finny
tribe when their boat in some unac
countable manner slid under the
branches of a small tree and the craft
overturned. Both grasped the tree
firmly, and, as luck would have it, the
body of the tree extended to the bank, |
so all that was necessary was to climb
the limb and walk out to terra firma.
The water being high made the ac
cident all the more serious, and f{t is
very lucky for the participants that
they escaped with nothing more seri
ous than a severe ducking and the
loss of their fish. ‘

The most important part of any
drug store business 1s Prescriptions.
When your doctor writes a pre
scription he knows what the results
should be, if the drugs and chemi
cals used are fresh, and of the re
quired standard.
Your doctor’s orders and your
health depend on the quality of
the ingredients used in the prescrip
tion, as well as the accuracy with
which it is compounded.
We conduct our prescription de
partment in the most exacting and
painstaking manner, using only the
finest quality drugs and chemicals,
of the highest U. S. P. Standard,
and by frequent purchases is al
ways sure of freshness and potency.
